I think in many people’s heads China is this cheap backwater third world country.
While there are problems over there such as tofu dregs, their production is very modern. But the Western world sees China through their tofu dregs.
Remember when unions and everyone were fighting against automation. What are you shocked at here?
The North American right and left both have become extreme Luddites over the past decade. What result did we expect? Lots of people said decades ago that we’d be left in the dust.
AI is the next field that we’re doing the same thing on. The general population keeps getting influenced to hobble itself on new innovations and then we’re shocked we’re getting surpassed as these innovations continue to develop in other countries?

Slavery provides efficient ways of getting things done. What a surprise.
Actually it doesn‘t because exploitation slows down innovation which is why China keeps buying and spying on foreign companies. I would also take everything from futurism.com with a teaspoon of salt. They don‘t have the best track record. CEOs are claiming they saw the future in completely dark factories. That‘s not the best source. They‘re known to be compulsive liars and often detached from reality. Who knows what they saw or if they really saw anything.
